Every year in the UK, nearly 11,000 young people leave the care system. Many are expected to leave care before they’re ready, and often with no ongoing support. Become wants to change this by campaigning to end the #CareCliff and by providing advice and support because we believe that care-experienced young people should have the same opportunity as anyone else to live happy, fulfilled lives.
Your time, energy and enthusiasm can transform the future for children and young people in care. It’s thanks to fundraisers like you that young people nationwide can benefit from our direct support and be part of campaigns for change within the care system.
By taking on an event for Become you are helping to ensure that there’s someone at the end of the phone when a young person calls for help and that the voices of children in care and young care leavers are amplified and united at a time when they are struggling to be heard at all.”
